Etymology

The word 'album' originated from the Latin word 'albus', meaning white, which was used to describe a blank tablet or list that Romans used for public notices. In the 17th century, 'album' was adopted in English to refer to a blank book in which to collect autographs, drawings, and poems. Over time, the term evolved to encompass collections of music tracks or photographs, leading to the modern usage of 'album' as a compilation of creative works.
